Maybe you need to not have XBMC in focus before running your excitable.
e.g. on mac press apple-key + tab to scroll to the finder (so the OS is in focus) then try pressing the button to run your script.
It's my only suggestion... hopefully it's a good one.

WHY didnt someone give me the link in their first reply?
I did try to make it obvious in the forums. It is the first subforum.
Consider a EMAIL link on ALL PAGES so a owner of a FLIRC can contact the company in case they have problems or questions.It has been considered, however Flirc is a one man project (for a great cause http://www.flirc.tv/fundraising/ ). A couple are great people spend their free time trying to help (many thanks to yawor). You're much more likely to get a quicker response on the forum
This video also gives a pretty good overview and it's in the first couple of hits if you search on YouTube:

GUI 1.2.7 +based on qt 4.8.0 is this a RC release of 4.8 set? If it is I am way behind in releases?I wouldn't worry about being on the absolute latest RC release.
However the software has the latest firmware for flirc built in so you'll have the correct firmware for the software.
And for those stumbling across this thread, OP managed to sort it out:
Update: I updated to 1.2.7 RC 12.Working now with stop,pause,play, ff, skip.
Note: I did not have success with the Microsoft logo keyboard layout for these functions.
When I switched to the Media Keyboard and mapped the above keys, they worked. Also in advanced functions, I checked the sequence modifiers.
You can use the computer layout keyboard for other commands with success.
My Dish remotes work..big keys and labels are very visible.
Thanks Bob

MCE Remote addon is for MCE IR receiver (I.e. not the remote)
Flirc addon/GUI is for Flirc IR receiver.
Flirc will work with MCE remote controls, there's even improved support coming for it in the latest betas

It was my impression that it was still beta (as it's in a beta forum: http://forum.flirc.tv/index.php?/forum/55-xbmc-plugin/ ) so this sort of thing could still happen.
Have you managed to disable it ok?

You shouldn't need the Flirc app open to use flirc (only to program Flirc).
This works when Flirc is open at the foreground and it starts the software,
but doesn't when Flirc is closed.
This might be because the short-key mapped in mac isn't a global one (i.e. it only works when the window is in focus)
What short-key combination are you using and this combination runs an automator action?

Thanks for the follow up Rob

Still seems like a driver issue, try following this guide:

If you download the latest GUI it will upgrade flirc to the latest FW, it has the same built in support for the flirc harmony remote profile.
-
I've installed no flirc software here imaging that flirc works as a simple keyboard here and doesn't need any additional driver or softwareThat should be the case.
The mythbuntu box was tested with a text editor too?
This is strange

I don't really have anything useful to add other than if other stumble across this thread;
This is our suggestion for when flirc isn't working with windows - https://flirc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200984473-Manual-Driver-Installation

Oops, by bad. Yeah I did mean "inter-key".
Apologies

You can adjust the key repeat rate in the flirc GUI. File ---> Advanced settings
What remote are you using?
-
-
Perhaps I'll just try another profile as well, one that will 'take' programming of those buttons. Any suggestions?The samsung is one I used to use without any problems.
Maybe something got corrupted in your myharmony set-up and you need to start from scratch (just a suggestion - no claims to be the correct answer)
Maybe try a panasonic if you want a different profile:
Manufacturer: Panasonic
Device: TC-P65VT30

I believe you assign a remote button to be a "wake button" using the Flirc GUI
-
No worries :)
In the Flirc GUI: File ---> Clear configuration
-
So you've cleared the configuration for flirc (in the Flirc GUI - File --> Clear configuration)?
Just so I understand corrected.
If you're using an IR repeater, I recommend programming the flirc using the IR repeater
-
Any other suggestions?This is really a harmony programming issue.
You should be able to assign buttons to the VCR/Aux using the XBMC profile you mentioned. Try asking the harmony support if you continue to have issues - they'll be better placed to guide you
-
Not sure if this a good course of action but have you tried clearing the configuration of flirc then re-programming?
-
Wake from sleep is really the closest to power on or off using flirc:

for controlling i have enter the mce remote keys, i have mce ir receiver also.Do you have Flirc hardware?
-
Is the order/timing of keys due to the hardware or could it in theory support more complex timing?
I've been led to believe that it is possible to implement, no ETA on it though unfortunately
Any chance of getting the Harmony Profile updated?
in General Questions
Posted
From what I remember Jason telling me he managed to sort the profile out with a nice guy from harmony so i'm not sure of the exact channels we would have to go through. There would probably have to be a bit of tinkering done from harmony's end and from Flirc's pre-assigned keys end
Irregardless; with Kodi coming up fast this is something that should be sorted out sooner rather than later - thanks for pointing it out :)
